At elevation, Ilfeld sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.

Depending on your address, power in San Miguel County typically comes from PNM or Mora-San Miguel Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
